Kernel Panic Freezing Mac Mini - Please Help

I am having issues with my Mac mini crashing everyday because of a kernel panic. I have included two reports below and was hoping someone could help me figure out what is going on, so I can fix the issue. It seems to happen when I turn my monitor off for the night. I wake up to a frozen screen and have to hard restart every time. Thanks in advance for the help!

Mac mini, macOS 14.2

Apple does not support running Sonoma on a 2011 Mac mini.




High Sierra was the last supported macOS for a 2011 Mac mini and that hack is most likely the root your problems.


Likewise these sort of macOS hacks are not allowed to be discussed here in the Apple Support Continuities, so don't be surprised if further posts get removed.
